Reply to "Newbie question.."

I just saw a neat trick that I'd have missed if it wasn't for AS.

A widget comes up now and then. I beat person 'A' using AS

A new widget gets posted. 'A' bids immediately at the opening price. It's a slightly better widget so I set my snipe to a coupl of pounds higher than the last one. And wait...

Suddenly, AS tells me that I've been outbid. I get onto My Snipes and see that person 'B' has placed a bid higher than my snipe, beating 'A'.

However, when I go to eBay, 'B' has withdrawn his/her bid and it's back to the opening amount with 'A' in the lead.

The Auction has an hour to go. I now know what 'A' has set his/her max to and have adjusted my snipe accordingly (I want that widget!). I guess the only risk I have is being outsnipped by 'B' so I've added a bit to take it over his/her's withdrawn bid amount.

I guess 'B' was being a bit sneaky but thanks to AS I'm in with a chance of winning!
